Gotta love this game. The suspense of watching the CR when there's a lot of fighting going on is worth every krona spent. [:)]
I love that too, Per. I'm a nervous wreck when watching carrier battles in particular. Awesome! [&o]

Hi all,
I managed to jam three middle fingers of my right (main) arm in car door yesterday... [:(]
I am now typing with left hand plus thumb and semi-functional index finger on the right hand...
I can still somehow hold mouse and slowly type...

Leo,
Please forgive the candor that I reserve for a Thread brother, but I'm bound by principled conviction to make an observation:
That was a silly thing to do to yourself. [;)]
Hope you're better soon.

Actually that was a F111c. There were only 2 FB-111 squadrons , and all FB-111's are gone (or in museums , like the one in the SAC museum we went to). The FB-111 was a slightly "streched" version, designed as a "nuclear penetrator" , where as the F-111 is a general purpose light bomber. I have seen a video of a F-111B using it's tail hook.(The F-111B was the carrier version in the original TFX, all service "fighter" program. The Navy version , designed to carry the AIM-54 Phoneix missile , was found after carrier trials to be too heavy for carrier duty. The F-14 was to replace it, as well as carry the Phoenix).
Some where out there must be a video of it's CV acceptance trails. [:)]
Here's a link that connects with a couple of video's.

Get better my friend. [:(] And don't worry if it cuts down on your spamming. At over 20k posts, you can take a break! [:D]

Yes, I agree with AW1Steve, USS Mike. Relax and take some time off to get better. In the 3-4 days you take off, I should catch up to and bypass your post count. [:D]

Yeah, yer right. Plus, the Aussies flying the thing had an F111c arm patch on too. [:'(]
I'll check out those carrier videos-graci!
So, AW1-have you ever seen a tailhook landing of an F-111c before?

Even better yet, hot buttered rum, if desired, with a touch of honey. Enjoy.[;)]
